The Durban Metropolitan Open Space System (D'MOSS) is a system of green corridors in Durban. Implemented in 1982, the system links a number of significant conservation sites and nature reserves, allowing a path for the free movement of fauna and flora.
D'MOSS is managed by the eThekwini Municipality.The objective of the project is the conservation of natural areas, while providing recreation facilities for the public.
The Giba Gorge Precinct is a public-private partnership between the eThekwini Municipality and private landowners, who pay a special levy towards the upkeep of the area. Processes are underway to replace the co-management model through the declaration of the precinct as a nationally recognised nature reserve.
